She is running mate desktop.
She does not recall what key sequences she pushed, but now, Cntrl-Alt-F[23456...] no longer work.
I tried it on her computer under her login, and it does not work.
Creating another account and login in with that account, it works.
So, something changed, that has disabled the cntrl-alt-f keys.
Any clues how to restore it?

It sounds like something's remapped them, but I don't use Mate and wouldn't know what special programs or settings it has. If you have more than one DE, try switching her first account to that and see what happens.

Yes.

Only mate DT is installed. She does not want to use any other DT.

For Mate DT, what icon are you referring to?
I have
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard
There nothing there about shortcuts.

I have Mate installed, but I am currently using enlightenment.. I never messed with keyboard shortcuts, so I was just going by what google gave me..

on my Centos-7 box, using MATE, there's both keyboard and "keyboard shortcuts" on the "hardware" menu. I think that's the one wanted.

But that does not provide anything to fix her problem. So, the issue might be with different mate config menus for different distros/versions ???

Yeah, I have that program too, but it's not the one needed.
pls see if there are any other mate packages not installed:
yum list available | grep -y mate
perhaps one of them dthat isn't installed has the progrm you need.

OK, I have one (or two) more suggesion(s): on my centos system, the menu item for "keyboard shortcuts" maps to the program named gnome-keybinding-properties.
On a Fedora-21 VM I have, it links to mate-keybinding properties.
so, if your friend has either of those two programs, that's the one you need, at least for the purpose of checking out the earlier suggestion from another poster.
You don't even need to link it into the menus, you should be able to run it from the commandline.

here is a list of all the mate packages I have installed, FYI: libmatekbd.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel libmatemixer.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel libmateweather.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel libmateweather-data.noarch 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-applets.x86_64 1.10.3-1.el7 @epel mate-backgrounds.noarch 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-calc.x86_64 1.8.0-1.el7 @epel mate-control-center.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-control-center-filesystem.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-desktop.x86_64 1.10.1-2.el7 @epel mate-desktop-libs.x86_64 1.10.1-2.el7 @epel mate-dictionary.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-disk-usage-analyzer.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-icon-theme.noarch 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-icon-theme-faenza.noarch 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-media.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-menus.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-menus-libs.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-menus-preferences-category-menu.x86_64 mate-notification-daemon.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-panel.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-panel-libs.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-polkit.x86_64 1.10.0-1.el7 @epel mate-power-manager.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-screensaver.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-screenshot.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-search-tool.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-session-manager.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-settings-daemon.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-system-log.x86_64 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel mate-system-monitor.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-terminal.x86_64 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-themes.noarch 1.10.1-1.el7 @epel mate-utils-common.noarch 1.10.2-1.el7 @epel
good luck!

She has all of the packages you mention, except for libmatemixer, which is available in fedora 22 updates repo. But I do not think that the mixer has anything to do with my friend's problem at hand.
OK, I have one (or two) more suggesion(s): on my centos system, the menu item for "keyboard shortcuts" maps to the program named gnome-keybinding-properties.
On a Fedora-21 VM I have, it links to mate-keybinding properties.
so, if your friend has either of those two programs, that's the one you need, at least for the purpose of checking out the earlier suggestion from another poster.
You don't even need to link it into the menus, you should be able to run it from the commandline.
Fred
Fred, u r a lifesaver. On her system, it is /usr/bin/mate-keybinding-properties
and that was the magic bullet!!!
Many thanx!!!

Glad I was able to help!

What there is, System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> keyboard -> Accessibility (a tab) -> A checkmark for "Accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts"
But that does not provide anything to fix her problem. So, the issue might be with different mate config menus for different distros/versions ???
Yeah, I have that program too, but it's not the one needed.
pls see if there are any other mate packages not installed:
yum list available | grep -y mate

I observed the following behavior on my friend's mate DT fedora installation:
while ctrl-alt-F(n) was not working, running chvt <n> [n=1...6] was yielding an error message that it was not able to get a file descriptor; whereas running chvt as root worked just fine.
I also observed that once chvt (as root) did switch to a vt, from that vt, ctrl-alt-f(n) worked just fine.
So, there was something about X, or Mate that had precipitated the problem in the first place. Just not sure what caused it.

She does not recall what key sequences she pushed, but now, Cntrl-Alt-F[23456...] no longer work.
I tried it on her computer under her login, and it does not work. Creating another account and login in with that account, it works. Any clues how to restore it?
I know that you can set DontVTSwitch in the Xorg configuration files to disable VT switching globally, but I can't find any documentation that indicates that any mechanism exists to do this at runtime.
My best guess, then, is that someone remapped one of the Ctrl or Alt keys. Look under the keyboard control panel, Layout, Options?
